Tightwads
There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Cheapest tightwad bastard to ever prowl the earth
and I worked for him.
- I made a mistake on an expense report that was 12 cents in my favor. I got a call from him. From his secretary. From the Accounting nazi lady. And a fax from him. And the Accounting nazi lady. In the space of two hours. For 12 fucking cents. I had to correct the report and resubmit it. For 12 fucking cents. Christ those halfwits spent ten dollars harassing me over it.
Said tightwad bastard went to our supplier in Eastbourne. MD at supplier suggest that T.B. pony up a few hundred bucks, bring his wife, then go on to Paris. Understand that said T.B. had never been outside the United States (typical for many fuckwits here). He went, took the advice, brought his wife, went to Paris. Gets back, I telephone to ask how his trip went. The very first words out of his mouth were, "I think the taxi driver ripped me off for $8 in Paris." What a miserable bastard. Would not eat in the sunshine as he feared his shadow would ask for a bite. Miserable bitter cheap bastard.

Oh , excuse us
for having far too large of a country with almost every kind of landscape, entertainment, and type of climate for every one of us to be bothered to spend huge sums on airfare to visit Europe where we are so very welcomed with open arms as tourists. We'd rather explore our own vast landscape first. And let me be the first to say, "If you don't like it here, please fuck off to somewhere else."
Signed
Typical fuckwit in the US

there's something called culture available in other countries though
I'm not surprised that you might not have heard of it. don't think it's got there yet.

I get a bit tired of the generalized anti-american statements
And yes I have been outside the country enjoying other cultures, but thank you for pointing out that we aren't the only ones that have culture.

You intentionally stepped into the role of devil's advocate, and now you're complaining about getting stick about it?
If you HAVE been out of the country, why are you complaining? He wasn't insulting you, was he?
Your country has ancient ruins from civilisations many thousands of years old, does it? Your country has the Giza Pyramids? Medieval castles? The battlefields of the Somme? The Cambodian killing fields? The African savannah? Uluru? The Taj Mahal? Big Ben? Machu Picchu? The Eiffel Tower? The running of the bulls? The Vrodandos fireworks? Holi? The Cherry Blossom Festival? The Hiroshima Peace Memorial? The terracotta army? The Mona Lisa? The Anne Frank house?
Yeah, you're right, everything any intelligent and cultured individual could ever want to see is right there in your own country. You monumental, catastrophic, utterly pathetic TOOL.
